This song is about war (in particular the Gulf War's hence the Arabic themed tunes in the background), death and running 'out of time' in your life to not have 'had the time to open your mind' and help appreciate the world, appreciate loved ones not here any more 'now on a computer, gone to the future way out in space' or do enough to help other less fortunate.
The world's a bleak dangerous place, 'too many people down, everything turning the wrong way round'.
Damon Albarn lead singer of Blur, is an anti-war campaigner who takes a big interest in oriental and middle eastern styled musical influences. I believe this song is an anti-war protest.
I love this song so much, it reminds me i shouldn't turn away and look over the atrocities taking place on the planet for Greed and corruption. It remind's me that I'm not living on earth forever and if i don't work hard enough to be a better person and help others, when the time comes of my death, I'll be 'Out of Time' to do anything about it. The bleak Arabic instrument played in the background, Albarn' soothing voice remind's me of the realities of life - which aren't great besides the few moment's of happiness you encounter now and then.
This is really a beautiful song.
